Chocolate and Candy Covered Pretzel Rods

I love chocolate covered pretzels because they bring both sweet and salty in one treat. I saw some pretzel rods at the grocery store so I thought I would make this fun chocolate and candy covered rods as a special treat for the family. My kids saw them first and loved them a lot. I was not surprised by their reactions because this is a very kid-friendly treat. The reaction that really surprised me was husband's. I think he ate the most rods out of all of us. He adored these and has already put in an order for another batch to be made very soon. I think this will definitely be showing up for his upcoming birthday. I have two eager volunteers to help make the next batch and that will be even more fun. Hopefully they won't eat all the sprinkles and candy before we finish.

Ingredients:package Pretzel Rods

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup white chocolate (optional if you want some dipped in white chocolate)

assorted candy and sprinkles

Directions:

Melt chocolate(s) in a double boiler (heatproof bowl over a pot of boiling water). Once fully melted, dip almost all the pretzel rod in the chocolate. If you cannot fully immerse the rod in the chocolate, use a spoon to help coat the rod. Next sprinkle with assorted candies or colorful sprinkles. Lay on a wax paper or parchment paper and place in fridge to set quickly. Serve at room temperature. Tip: I sprinkled the wax paper with a layer of sprinkles to easily remove the rods from the paper.

Note: If you want black/white chocolate rods, dip in chocolate and once the base chocolate is set drizzle with either the white or dark chocolate from the tines of a fork. Enjoy.
